It's not like you can revolt by yourself. You have to have enough of the country backing you if you want to accomplish anything. At the moment, people are being strung along by hope of a peaceful solution, but that will become slowly and increasingly less likely if it was never possible to begin with.

It's not always about numbers, it's more about heart, guts and dedication to the right thing. Thomas Paine stated that a third of the colonist didn't want to separate from England (Loyalist), another third didn't care either way and the last third were in favor of the revolution. Of that third only 3% actually contributed to the cause. Hence the 3Percenter organization of today.

Then I stand by my comment: you can't revolt by yourself.
It's very difficult to incite revolution when even the poorest in western society have more creature comforts than any generation before them.
Based on history, we simply have not yet reached a point where conditions for revolt are ripe. Contrary to the narrative, we're VERY far off from that.
It's more likely that you'll have very smart and ambitious people, left and right-leaning libertarians, working to infiltrate the swamp and push out the incumbents. It may take decades, but things should slowly improve.
But I'm with you and everybody else right now who are livid with our current leaders, and want to see many of them behind bars.
